It's normal for it to take some time to get the parity on the drives into 
sync.  Depending on the default rebuild rate, this can take quite a 
while; 8 hours is not unimaginable.  As long as it stops eventually, 
you'll be fine, and it'll be usable (but slower) while the rebuild is 
running.

The controller doesn't tell us that it's working on establishing parity 
for a new array, AFAIR.  I could probably find out if the driver went off 
asking, but there's a list as long as my arm of things I want to do to 
that driver...
